Danco and Cuverville

10 January 2015Both Danco and Cuverville are fairly
small islands surrounded by tall mountains and roaring glaciers. In the waters
around the islands it is like an art exhibition of ice sculptures. Fantastic
sculptures of ice in thousand shades of blue.

Both places lucky kayakers could enjoy circumnavigation of the islands.
Kayaking in this area is as good as it gets. In the kayak we really get close
to nature and move in total silence between the icebergs. It is a magical
experience that leaves a big smile on your face and long lasting memories in
your heart.

It was also a perfect day for cruising in polarcircel boats and enjoying
the good life of summer in Antarctica. The weather we are experiencing this
trip is just amazing. The sun is shining almost 24 hours a day and there is no
wind in the air. Rare luxury in these waters.

To top of a perfect day 18 campers spent the night outside in the short
Antarctic night. They tell tales of hunting Leaopard seal along the shoreline
and calving glaciers. When you are camping in Antarctica sleeping is not the
first priority.

MV FRAM is the most modern expedition cruise vessel belonging to the Hurtigrutenfleet, roaming polar waters and taking people to remote places where only few go. In order to give you the chance to travel with us, even if only on your computer screen, we have created this blog. Here you can see what we have seen and read what we have done.
